I doubt anyone in the TC supports that option, though, in which case there's no point in voting on it. In other words, proposing a ballot here and calling for votes doesn't preclude other options. We're all quite capable of saying something if we think something has been left off of the ballot, or voting FD. It's less formal than the GR process because of the small number of people involved. It makes it much easier to back off and rework things. What Bdale is proposing right now is essentially making some intermediate decisions that let us narrow down the options for the final decision that tries to resolve all the things that we were asked to decide. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
